Platform Engineer

Job description

## **Our Mission** At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: **procurement** – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger **50+ emails**, and pull in **Finance, Legal, Security, and IT** just to get something approved. We’ve raised **$75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners,** and **Accel** to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility. The opportunity is massive. **Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it**. We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the [**4th fastest growing startup**](https://sifted.eu/leaderboards/sifted-future-50-2025) in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for. **Our team previously scaled Tessian** (**cybersecurity tech,** backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel**,** acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like [**Ben**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-freeman-a8542166/), [**Abs**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhirukt/), [**Sabrina**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/scastiglione/), and [**Rebe**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecatristan/). ## **Find out more about the team and life at Omnea** [**here**](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpjeHyocsu3ZoDn3sfODjqIR2L_DW3dgb)**.** ## **Why We Need a Software Engineer (Platform) Now** Omnea deploys multiple times a day, serves enterprise customers who expect rock-solid reliability, and is scaling 10x. Our platform team owns the infrastructure, tooling, and developer experience that underpins all of this. We're adding a **hands-on Platform Engineer** to the team to improve our CI/CD, scale our serverless infrastructure, strengthen observability, and make every product engineer more effective. ## **What We're Looking For** We're hiring at both **Level 3 (Senior)** and **Level 4 (Staff)**. For calibration, candidates typically bring **5+ years of platform engineering experience** in high-growth, cloud-native SaaS environments, but we care more about impact than years. You'll join an experienced platform team and contribute across the full stack, from infrastructure-as-code and deployment pipelines to developer tooling and occasionally product features. ## **What You'll Do** - **Scale our infrastructure.** Design and evolve our AWS serverless architecture (including Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, EventBridge) for 10x growth, multi-region HA, and data residency requirements. - **Own CI/CD and deployment.** Build and improve our deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions), infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi), and release tooling so product teams can ship faster and safer. - **Own observability.** Build out monitoring, alerting, and debugging across the stack using Datadog. When something breaks, we should know before our customers do. - **Improve developer experience.** Build internal tooling, automate toil, and remove friction so engineers spend more time shipping product and less time fighting infrastructure. - **Code and build.** Contribute production-ready TypeScript across infrastructure and product features; raise the bar through solid patterns, libraries, and reviews. ## **What Can You Expect?** - **A strong team.** You'll join a platform team of senior and staff engineers who set a high bar and will push you to do your best work. - **Modern, cloud-native stack.** Everything serverless and IaC-driven (AWS, Pulumi, TypeScript end-to-end). - **Continuous delivery.** We deploy multiple times a day. Your work determines how fast and safely the whole engineering org ships. - **Scalability challenges.** As we 10x revenue, you'll evolve infrastructure for multi-region HA, data residency, and performance at scale. - **Customer impact.** The reliability and speed you build is what lets us win and keep enterprise accounts. - **Massive ownership.** You own problems end-to-end, from brainstorming through to production. - **Collaboration & autonomy.** Plenty of heads-down technical work, but also close partnership with product engineers and engineering leadership. ## **About You** - **Platform engineer & builder.** You design reliable infrastructure _and_ write clean production code (TypeScript or similar). You've built and maintained CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and developer tooling at scale. - **Cloud-native.** Deep knowledge of AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, IAM, networking) or equivalent cloud-native experience. You understand serverless and its trade-offs. - **Developer-first.** You think about engineers as your customers. You automate toil, improve feedback loops, and care deeply about making other people productive. - **Commercially minded.** You understand that infrastructure exists to serve the product and the business. You make trade-offs with that in mind. - **Bias for action.** You iterate quickly, ship pragmatically, and automate everything. - **Culture carrier.** You coach teammates, share knowledge freely, and keep calm when things break. **Nice-to-haves** - Experience with Pulumi or similar IaC frameworks. - Hands-on Datadog experience. - Experience building internal developer platforms or tools adopted org-wide. - Open-source contributions to infrastructure or developer tooling projects.
